There is nothing wrong with having the mailer use "From " as a way of
finding the boundary of messages, and putting ">" in front to avoid false
boundaries arising from occurrences of that string in text, *provided*
that the transformation is reversible, and is in fact reversed when the
message leaves the mailer. Unfortunately, neither of these conditions
is true of the existing scheme.
